Superorbital variability of X-ray and radio emission of Cyg X-1 - II. Dependence of the orbital modulation and spectral hardness on the superorbital phase

Superorbital variability of X-ray and radio emission of Cyg X-1 - II. Dependence of the orbital modulation and spectral hardness on the superorbital phase

We discover a pronounced dependence of the strength of the soft X-ray orbital modulation and the spectral hardness in Cyg X-1 in the hard state on its superorbital phase. We find, our results can be well modelled as a combination of two effects: the precession of the accretion disc (which …
